Former President Joe Biden will make his first appearance since leaving office at a conference this week in Chicago.
He will be one of the Keynote Address speakers at the Advocates, Counselors, and Representatives for the Disabled conference on Tuesday afternoon, according to the conference schedule.
The purpose of the conference is to “discuss and develop consensus solutions” amid concerns for “millions of older and disabled Americans who depend on Supplemental Security Income and Social Disability Insurance,” according to the organization’s website.
Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley, who was selected by Biden as the commission of the Social Security Administration during his term, will also be part of the keynote speech.
Biden withdrew from the 2024 presidential elections, in which Kamala Harris ran in his place against current President Donald Trump. His last trip in Chicago was the Democratic National Convention in August.
Other guests include former U.S. Sens. Debroah Ann Stabenow (D-Michigan) and Roy Blunt (R-Missouri).
The sold-out conference will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Sofitel Hotel.
